The longer I look at weather data, the more
it feels like I am listening as opposed to seeing
relationships between meteorological variables. Especially when looking
at weather systems
out in the open ocean, I rely both on buoys and on-shore weather stations
to approximate for me
what the conditions were like at sea. Imperfect as it is, it feels like
I am listening to an old echo
to try to imagine how a storm such as Bob moved through the Gulf of Maine
and what it must
have felt like on the open ocean.
